Hillary Meter: 43% Will Vote Against (Support for 2008 Campaign Drops to Lowest Level in Year)
Rasmussen Reports ^ | February 9, 2006

Posted on 02/09/2006 9:51:04 AM PST by RWR8189

February 9, 2006--Support for Hillary Clinton's Presidential bid has slipped over the past month to the lowest levels recorded in two dozen surveys over the past year.

Today, just 27% of Americans say they would definitely vote for the former first lady while 43% would definitely vote against. Still, 59% of Americans believe it is somewhat or very likely that she will be the Democrat's nominee in 2008.

Among Democrats, the number who would definitely vote for Clinton dropped 11 percentage points over the past two weeks.

Crosstabs are available for Premium Members.

New York's junior Senator is viewed as politically liberal by 45% of voters (little changed from two weeks ago). Thirty-three percent (33%) see her as politically moderate (see trends).

Collectively, today’s Hillary Meter places Senator Clinton a net 53 points to the left of the nation's political center. That's unchanged over the past two weeks.

 

The political center is calculated by subtracting the number of liberals from the number of conservatives among the general public (35% conservative, 18% liberal for a net +17). For the Senator, 9% conservative minus 45% liberal equals a net minus 36. The minus 36 reading for Senator Clinton is 53 points away from the plus 17 reading for the general public.

Nationally, 38% of Americans have a favorable opinion of Senator Clinton while 47% hold an unfavorable view.

Crosstabs are available for Premium Members.

The Hillary Meter is a twice monthly measure of Senator Hillary Clinton's effort to move to the political center. The next update is scheduled for Wednesday, February 22, 2006. For as long as the former First Lady is a viable candidate for the White House, Rasmussen Reports will monitor public perceptions of her political ideology.

"Among Democrats, the number who would definitely vote for Clinton dropped 11 percentage points over the past two weeks."

LOL! Every time Mrs. Clinton opens her big gaping maw her numbers go down as they do when she plays Mr. Clinton's victimized, tragic he-done-her-wrong wife.

Too bad she didn't have these numbers before she stood on stage with him at eh funeral as his 'partner' - sitting in the office glaring at him or wiping at her eyes with a hankie would have raised her numbers.

Classic move. Have her buddies put out bogus polls to make her look "bad" and then put out bogus polls to make her look "not as bad as before." It's the reverse of a company raising it's prices by 20% and then giving you a 15% sale price for Presidents Day.

The punters on Tradesports.com are bidding 41.7 for Hillary getting the Democrat nomination -- down from a high of about 52.0. Next highest is Mark Warner at 20.0.

John Kerry is flat-lining at 2.1.

IF she gets it I can't wait for her reponse to questions about:
Walmart-sat on board of directors(I guess she liked it then)
FALN-terrorists pardoned by her partner in crime
Billing records-where did they finally come from
Eschelon-and she's worried about Bush wiretaps????
OBL-her partner in crime did nothing to catch him after the FIRST attack on the WTC...therefore...9-11!!
Arming our troops-who gutted the military in the first place?

Hey Jack...why on earth are you asking those crazy questions?

We are tasked with the requirement to take the Beast on her word. Just ask Dr. Dean, if there are any questions about that!

Come Onnnn !

Her percentage dropped because she's been opening her mouth more in the last month. This isn't good. I want her to get the nomination so the party will definitely tank in '08.

Notice the cow's increased shrillness and political rhetoric to hold public attention.

Heh-heh. Just put more of her screeching speeches on the networks and watch her ratings drop even lower. I don't think even her fans can stand to listen to that for long.

Well, if she isn't sticking her fat foot in her mouth, Dean is sticking his fat foot in the mouth of the dem party.

The same people who wanted Cindy Sheehan to run for Senate.
